New Causeway Span Opens Today.

From the Galveston Daily News:
A Dickinson man died in a crash on the unfinished causeway early Saturday morning.

Robert L. Fye, 45, was driving north from the island shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday. Officials with the Department of Public Safety said he apparently disregarded barricades and went onto a part of the bridge that was under construction.

Seconds later, he hit a parked, unoccupied crane. Although he was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, the impact killed him. Officials pronounced Fye dead at the scene.
Sometime later today the new Northbound Span of the Causeway was opened.
